What is the Sanitary cycle used for?
The Sanitary cycle is intended for loads that match that fabric or soil description.
The washer combines sensing, washing, rinsing and spinning according to the selected cycle and options.
Choose another cycle for: Items that require a gentler, bulkier or more intensive specialized cycle.
What this means for your load
High-temperature program for heat-safe fabrics. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: Load size, balance, water temperature and optional rinses can change the time.
Check the full LG WM3600HVA cycle table to compare other programs before starting.
When will it finish?
This variable program depends on the stored cycle, options or sensed load. Use the appliance's current displayed estimate.
Estimated energy and local cost
This range is calculated from the documented cycle characteristics and appliance type. It is deliberately shown as a range because load conditions, temperature selections, sensors and options change consumption.
Planning the Sanitary cycle on the WM3600HVA
Sanitary is a model-specific washer program, so its controls and options should be checked against the exact appliance documentation.
On the LG WM3600HVA, watch for load size, water temperature, suds control and balance corrections. Leave room for items to move and treat the panel estimate as the best live prediction.
The planning range on this page is 0.1–1.5 kWh; use the ZIP or bill-rate calculator for a local cost estimate. The exact-model reference is linked from lg.com, while estimates are labeled separately.
